Soul Cycling vs. Road Biking

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Right. If it's not too cold to ski, it's not too cold to bike although you may dress similarly.

I spent the first 15 years of my adult life in Boulder, CO where I used a spare wheelset with 27mm cross tires mounted for commuting on snow days.

It's the American way, get some of that expendable income any way you can.

Of course when there is snow on the side of the road, with some of it frozen, some of it melted, some of it refrozen, pot holes, road salt, little to no room to ride your bike, even though you can ride, its not the best decision to do so.

You might have seen that they recently submitted filings for an iPO, and they're quite $$profitable$$.

You say dumb --> I say I wish I thought of it first.

On another note, based on who I see leaving the SoulCycle across from my office, I'd say the male:female ratio is more like 1:10, or more favorable. (i.e., favorable to me.)
